Excited when they signed but turned out to be rubbish

Buster Phillips, he was tipped to be the first British £10 million pound player but turned out to be gash

Ha ha. Remember him. Christ what a crap signing that was

Nasri
Mendy
Mangala
Navas
Bravo

Navas didnt pull up trees but he bloody worked his heart out for the team. Nasri was top quality in a lot of games although could've been so much more. Bravo was decent as a back up keeper, great in pen shootouts. As for the other two Mendy and Mangala I totally agree with, they were rubbish players.

Revised list of top of the rubbish pile: Jo 18M, Bony 25M, Mendy 50M, Mangala 32M.

Jo- ha ha. Another load of crap I’d forgotten about.

For me it's Mendy - streets ahead of the rest in terms of disappointment bearing in mind how well he did at Monaco. I really got excited when we signed him. 2nd place is Samaras - £6m was a lot of dosh for City in those days. Another big let down for me was Tony Cunningham - he came with a reputation as being a more than capable striker in the old 2nd Div (now the Championship) but turned out to be a duffer for us.

Nery Castillo but I have no fucking idea why.

Bojinov was another.

Tend to agree with above post in response to this. Nasri was a very talented player, very good during 13/14 title winning season though seemed to have quite an 'attitude problem'.
Navas , I felt was always committed but struggled with the physicality of the English game.
Bravo got some stick but didn't fill me with any real confidence.
The other 2, the less said the better!!

Are we allowed to list managers?

 

[Barcon]

Not sure if a player on loan actually has to "sign" but, Daniel Van Buyten was useless for us.

Nery Castillo but I have no fucking idea why.

Bojinov was another.

It was that introduction he got at half time with the full on Mexican music. The only was was down from there.

Nasri scored a belter away at Roma. Unfortunately like all the above, the quality was few and far between.
